The Holster course at CPC takes 6 - 7 weeks as its only an hour or so per session ... which covers more than just drawing from a holster..
It covers stance/s .. grip , trigger pull ... strong hand and weak hand shooting , transition of pistol between strong and weak hand , sight picture , basic IPSC rules ,shooting kneeling one knee shooting prone , mag changing standing/kneeling/prone,of course drawing and holstering the pistol ... and many other small things that will help you shooting no end .
The course being only an hour or so and in the module form ... it makes for easy learning ,in a non stress environment
Remember you cant work a loaded pistol from a holster unless your PNZ holster qualified (or thats how i understand it .. or maybe only PNZ affiliated clubs?)
